Earl Sweatshirt has posted the music video for his solo track "Chum", a song that details his feelings toward his absent father, the struggle of returning home this year, and his battle with racial identity. The black-and-white clip reflects the song's somber feel.

"NU TREATS," Earl Sweatshirtscreamed on Twitter before advising onlookers: "my phones been turned off... speak not to me... im leaving twitter now". It's understandable, given the personal and self-reflective nature of the new song, he's posted on Tumblr called "Chum". It's possible it was recorded a long time ago, because it includes the line, "Been back a week and I already feel like calling it quits." He also raps about his relationships with his father and mother, his own aimlessness and his struggle to find a place amongst his peers. Listen above.

The New York Times has published a feature on a post-boarding school Earl Sweatshirt, containing interviews with Earl, his mother, and more. The teenage rapper, who's widely considered the most talented of the Odd Future crew, has some big plans now that he's back among his peers. According to the Times, he recently signed a deal for his own Columbia Records-distributed imprint called Tan Cressida (Odd Future Records also falls under the Sony umbrella, distributed through RED).

Santigold performed at Coachella yesterday afternoon, showcasing material from her debut, Santogold, and the forthcomingMaster of My Make Believe. A big crowd invaded the stage for "Creator", including Odd Future's Earl Sweatshirt and Taco (as well as an adorably confused-looking toddler). As previously reported, Santi and Earl are working on material together, which we'll hear "if it turns out dope". Fingers crossed.

The average age among the mass of people waiting under the Hammerstein's majestic awning for the Odd Future show looked to be hovering around eighteen years old, bumped up a few notches because of the parents interspersed throughout. The crowd was still extremely, ridiculously young. Even the non-teenagers seemed young. Standing in line for a 21+ wristband, the guy behind me asked his buddy to share his (forthcoming) drink with him, saying, "I don’t have any money for drinks. My mom only gave me $20 for the train."
